PS: A new week is coming, and there are no recommended seats this week, so 4,000 words ask everyone if you can have a recommendation ticket.

Everyone is saying that the time span is coming, and the passion is coming, is it true?

――――――

In fact, there are not several types of naval construction of non-Red Alert weapon units, one is naturally an amphibious assault ship, and it is also the only amphibious assault ship in the base. The remaining major types of ships are only large amphibious dock landing ships, a bit like the Zhonghua Type 071, and their performance is not much worse.

Although it is inferior to amphibious assault ships in terms of delivery capabilities, the two complement each other and are a good match. And the air-cushion landing craft is naturally played by the armored personnel carrier of the Red Alert unit.

Armored personnel carrier: Naval amphibious transport ship, the construction price - 200,000 base funds, 400,000 base funds, 1,000,000 base funds, construction to service time - seven days, 15 days, one month.

Description: An armored personnel carrier is a landing combat craft that transports landing troops and their weapons and equipment for direct landing on the shore and beach. It can be used to transport landing troops, vehicles, tanks and supplies directly in the landing, or as a means of transfer in the landing.

There are three construction modes: light, medium, and heavy, which correspond to three types of construction prices and construction time. Light and medium can be transported by motherships such as dock landing ships and amphibious assault ships, while heavy ones can only reach the theater of operations by their own endurance due to their huge size.

Note: Light landing craft with a full load displacement of 35 tons and a cruising range of about 100 nautical miles. It can load more than 30 landing troops, or about 3 tons of materials.

Medium landing craft. It has a full load displacement of 150 tons and a cruising range of 200 nautical miles. It can load 2 Rhino tanks, or 200 landing soldiers, or dozens of tons of supplies.

The heavy landing craft has a full load displacement of 550 tons, a cruising range of about 1,000 nautical miles, and can carry 2 Apocalypse tanks or 360 landing troops, or 300 tons of supplies. (I don't think it's too much of an exaggeration!) ）

Special note: This is a fast ship floating on the water, with a maximum speed of more than 55 knots, and it is a vehicle for rapid assault on the sea surface.

Recommendation: An essential weapon for amphibious landing operations. Fighting for control of the island, it is the most advantageous fast transport unit.

Amphibious combat units are not the focus of Li Lan's current construction, so far, an amphibious assault ship and a dock landing ship have been built, and the amphibious assault ship under construction in the shipyard is for China. And not intended to be used to strengthen their own naval forces.

The price of an amphibious assault ship was only $2 billion, and when the first chief heard about this price, he directly waved his pen and asked for four. Two ships were built at the base shipyard. The other two ships were built in China by engineers sent by Li Lan. And the price of an aircraft carrier for three billion dollars, (the previous chapter was written wrong!) Not two billion. Chief No. 1 did not hesitate. Two were bought, and one was built here in Li Lan. One was built in the country.

These two businesses alone allowed Li Lan to secure $14 billion in arms orders, which sounds very good. However, Li Lan did not mean to be happy. Because of this price, he sells it very watery, which can be said to be super cheap. To take a very simple example, the European bison sold by Ukraine to China cost $100 million each. This allowed the transfer of production of jishu and allowed China to produce its own in the country.

The cost of a single Wasp-class amphibious assault ship on the US side is $2.2 billion, and if it is sold, each will definitely not be less than $5 billion, and the buyer will have to pay a large amount of additional costs for later repairs and maintenance, not to mention the purchase of production rights. If you calculate it, the United States can sell it for six billion dollars in a single Wasp-class. Moreover, it is not so easy for the United States to sell this thing, and it has to be approved by Congress, and even if it is sold at that time, it will be accompanied by a lot of political conditions, which is also the international practice of the United States.

As for this 80,000-ton conventionally powered aircraft carrier, the selling price of 3 billion is also equal to the price of cabbage. Not to mention, the Vikramaditya purchased by India has already paid $2.3 billion for this to finally get it. And can the converted aircraft carrier of more than 40,000 tons be compared with the 86,000-ton aircraft carrier produced by the base? First of all, the displacement is twice as high as it, plus the catapult take-off jishu, it is by no means as simple as multiplying by two.

The selling price of $3 billion and $2 billion is definitely Li Lan's greatest generosity, and although he can still make a lot of money from it, this kind of price is absolutely unique in the world. Otherwise, these two orders alone could definitely reach more than $24 billion.

Moreover, in terms of carrier-based aircraft, China has no intention of buying them, and strictly speaking, Li Lan has suffered a big loss. However, when doing business with his own country, both parties are also taken care of, and he doesn't do anything about it. This price was ordered by him, and it was originally a special discount, so naturally he can't regret it.

However, China still purchased many other weapons and equipment, some and some less, and the total value of all orders reached more than $30 billion. It is equivalent to a quarter of China's annual military expenditure. Of course, some of these orders are delivered with a delivery time of two or three years, and the money is not available all at once.

In addition to arms sales to China, the navy's belongings in the territories have gradually been perfected, and the United States, which has always been the target of Li Lan's pursuit, is naturally the target of his comparison.

Today's naval strength, if it is taken out separately and compared with the United States, it is not enough to see at all. In terms of quality, it is difficult to say, and in terms of quantity alone, it is not something that Li Lan can compare at present. Even if he catches up, it will take at least five or six years.

The same is true for the Air Force, and at the current rate of base development, it will take at least six or seven years to form an Air Force that can compete with the United States. After all, catching up with the footsteps of global hegemons is definitely not something that can be achieved in one step. The development of the United States since World War II has gone through nearly 70 years.

Even if there is a base, it is by no means a matter of two or three times.

Moreover, the development and rise of an emerging shili will inevitably usher in a high degree of attention and containment by the United States. Li Lan Weishenme has always wanted to hide the navy and air force in the hope of buying himself enough time. The United States is not a fool. If he comes out, he will be drastic, and the sea and air will just be a little. Just show it off. It's definitely an act of looking for death, if the United States feels that you are a huge threat. That's weird if I don't beat you. It is enough to have a China and Russia, how can it be possible to allow the rise of a new shili.

But then again, when the family business is big, it's not so easy to hide. In addition, there is a mandatory mission of the base, even if Li Lan wants to hide it any longer, he is powerless. And these twenty months have given him enough time.

Even if the current navy and air force are unable to engage in an all-round confrontation with the United States, they are not muddy. There is no way to attack. But it's always okay to hold on to an acre and three points of land!

In terms of the navy, with two aircraft carrier battle groups, plus the presence of shore-based air force and missile units, Li Lan can completely expand the depth of defense, not to mention Ethiopia, Egypt, Kenya, and the Arabian Peninsula, and the US bases in these places are already within Li Lan's attack range, even if they are bases in the Middle East, they are in the aircraft carrier battle groups and medium-range ballistic missiles. It's enough to threaten.

Of course, you can hit others, and others can hit you too. Not to mention the long-range missile units under the command of the US Navy, Army and Air Force, the Tomahawks will be light at that time. It is not surprising that the Minuteman-3 is used directly. Don't think about nuclear bombs, the United States will not start this until it forces the United States. However, the conventional warhead alone is enough for Li Lan.

According to the current strength of the air force of the base, once it starts fighting an opponent like the United States. There is only the ability to defend, and there is a lack of sufficient offensive ability.

in the course of twenty months. Li Lan also only produced two wings of Black Hawk fighters, one of which included a tactical air force group, consisting of three squadrons, each with 18 Black Hawk fighters. This is also due to the fact that the construction time has been cut in half, from 72 hours to 36 hours. These three wings alone accounted for 162 days in twenty months. A total of 108 aircraft.

The Intruder fighter, which forms a high and low match with the Black Hawk fighter, is built once a day. So far, Li Lan has set up two intruder fighter wings. The number of fighters in each wing is fifty-four, as is the number of Black Hawk fighters. A total of 108 fighters.

For the remaining 300 days, Li Lan spent all his time building the Navy's carrier-based aircraft series and helicopters.

Considering the demand for helicopters in the construction of heavy divisions, Li Lan produced a total of 240 helicopters to meet the needs of heavy divisions and other independent brigade-level units.

For the remaining 100 days, Li Lan worked hard to produce carrier-based aircraft. A month ago, the carrier-based aircraft on the first aircraft carrier were considered full. And the construction of carrier-based aircraft for the second aircraft carrier, which was launched, has just begun. It will take at least four months of construction to ensure the full capacity of carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier.

The speed of construction of the Air Force is no longer something that can be described as fast, but a miracle. Even the United States will find it difficult to build such a group of air force units that all belong to the standards of fourth-generation fighters in 20 months. (European and American fighters are already divided into generations like Russia, and the F-22 belongs to the fifth generation of fighters, and this book is also divided according to this.) ）

However, Li Lan was not very satisfied with such a speed. Although the number of fighters in the United States is currently the lowest since World War II, it has reached more than 2,100, and there are also powerful strategic air forces, and if you count carrier-based aircraft, the number is even higher. Moreover, the United States also has a large number of mothballed fourth-generation fighters, which can be immediately modernized and quickly flooded with air forces if needed.

There are currently only 216 fixed-wing fighters in the entire territory, which is only a fraction of the number of the United States. Perhaps for any country, it is an extremely mythical thing to be able to have so many advanced fighters from scratch in 20 months. But Li Lan never felt satisfied.

Where the speed of development of the Air Force is limited is not a matter of funding, but of building lists. Because the Air Force, unlike shipyards, can start work at the same time, and can only produce one plane. This has led to the slow progress.

In this regard, Li Lan is also powerless.

In fact, he can already be self-satisfied, there are several countries with more than two hundred fourth-generation fighters, and several countries with aircraft carriers. It's just that he has always regarded the United States as a potential adversary and ignored other countries. Especially those third shijie countries, there are several countries that have his current strength.

In more than two years, it has such a military level, which is enough to go down in history. Under the strict blockade of the international jishu, the third shijie country wants to take the lead, unless it is the outbreak of the third shijie war, and the strength of the countries is seriously declining, it is absolutely impossible.

During this year, Chief No. 1 knew about Li Lan's development, and he also joked with him many times, if he wanted to arrest him back so that he could study how he did it. In his words, he also tried many times, wanting to see where Li Lan's development limit was.

The reaction of the First Leader is enough to prove the shock in his heart, otherwise he would not have been so out of shape. But Li Lan was still not satisfied, because his ambitions were no longer satisfied with these equipment. In his words, "I want to completely surpass the United States in armaments!" ”

Whether it's a declaration or a motivation for yourself, words can be called arrogant.

In the 21 st century, the United States is far inferior to China and Russia in terms of conventional weapons, both in terms of the number of armaments and the accumulation of science and technology. Even if China is given 30 years, it cannot be said that it will be surpassed in an all-round way. Because the United States itself has always been developing.

If we look at the transformation of the Navy and Air Force that the United States has begun since the beginning of the 21 st century, it is clear that whether it is a Ford-class aircraft carrier, a US-class amphibious assault ship, a Zumwalt, or a littoral combat ship, the United States is leading the pace of naval innovation in the new era. A completely new mode of warfare is brewing.

Regardless of the pros and cons of this innovative strategy, the United States is indeed ahead of the curve. The impact of this is not only a quantitative but also a qualitative leap.

Li Lan is naturally not lacking in people's hearts, to put it simply, he doesn't want to make a little achievement, so he is complacent. We should look a little bigger, and don't want to forget our previous patience and hard work because of temporary success.

In formulating development policies, they are all based on the development of strength. At present, even if he has a strength that many countries cannot match, he does not dare to be careless. It's hard to say, but it's not easy. Looking far, it is also because he is in the Gulf of Aden and the global military strategy of the United States, if he stares at the acre and third of the land in front of him all day long, how can it develop.

Therefore, in the face of army construction that could have been complacent, Li Lan just couldn't afford to be too happy. (To be continued......)
